Today’s Report – January 29th

  • Cleveland Magazine: Med-Mart Free For All. Very nice roundup of the various reactions and comments to the Medical Mart / Convention Center decision. The best item linked here is all the sputtering by the Greater Cleveland Partnership, whose desires were totally rejected. Obviously the Mall site is the correct one (and I believe that’s the case no matter the cost difference), but there are some good follow-up questions here. The best ones center around whether or not the convention center can or will extend over the train tracks and shoreway and finally connect downtown to the lake. This kind of connection is both obvious and needed and I hope that it can be accomodated in this plan.
